Another Documentary with good picture quality but no sound till 4.30 min.

CONCLUSION
Although Pakistan's claim was till the 24th parallel,thus giving us an additional 3500sqm of land. The international arbitration made us relinquish our claims. The Rann of Kutch is still India's soft belly and is prone to a major upset if planned effectively.:pakistan:

This documentary was by British Pathè which also made this documentary on 1965 war:

Anyways Rann of Kutch dispute was an Indian victory since of the entire disputed area the court gave Pakistan only 10-12% and the rest went to India.

that gave the over confidence to the leaderahip which lead to the disaster operation gibraltor
Operation Gibraltar was planned months before the skirmishes of Rann of Kutch. Nevertheless we still defeated the Indians, a credit which we cannot takeaway from our soldiers.

Its always not to late to dispute the arbitration. The Geography of Rann is integrated with Pakistan similar to that of Kashmir.

India is such a lucky country, in the end they always win somehow, they even won Feb 27th by denying Pakistan to down third plane.

The moment news broke out of a SU30 shot down they immediately changed that into a F16 shot down . They have to keep their feeble heads high for some weird reason!!!
Sir , may i ask . 10-12% area given to Pakistan was with India before Tribunal decision / after 1947 or with Pakistan and we gave some part to India and only had claim on 100% area ??? Thanks .

Actually all the hard work done by our brave men was relinquished in the biased arbitration court(which we accepted so readily). In the end we only managed to keep the SARDAR POST .

i was eager to know about area before War , 1947 situation and what we got after 1968 tribunal , because Indian media say that Pakistan got 910 Sq Km out of 9100 Sq Km . That 910 Sq Km area was with India ???? i m talking about 1947 -1965 , before war . not talking about gains in War . Thanks .

After 1949 up until 1965, things were quite cordial between two neighbours, There were almost open borders, a lot of cultural exchanges, cricket matches, trade, a land mark Indus water treaty etc.

But things changed in 1962, when Pakistani army started thinking, India was too weak to defend it borders, and this something they should take advantage off .

This new bout of India - Pakistan conflict started with Pakistani army aggression in Rann of Kutch and ended with Pakistani army surrender in 1971.

There after Pakistan army was demoralised for next two decades (Even when Siachen was captured by Indian army, Pakistan army meekly accepted the outcome - famous words by Zia ul Haq after Siachen was captured, not a blade of grass grows there, signalling no intent to fight back.)

It took Pak army two decades and acquisition of nuclear weapons to gain back their confidence against India and they could make another move in Kashmir.

It all started with the Pakistan trying to spark a conflict in the Rann of Kutch, which wasn't Pakistan's to begin with, as proven by decision of the International tribunal which in 1968 awarded of 90% of Rann Kutch to India and only 10 percent to Pakistan.

That 910 Sq Km area was with India ???? i m talking about 1947 -1965 , before war .
It was a no mans land only patrolled by border police by both sides. The skirmishes started when the Indians violated the truce and started patrolling Pakistan's controlled territory and captured Kanjarkot fort. At the end of the war the border was demarcated with Pakistan Army relinquishing the captured Indian territory to the Indians as per the arbitration court.

I can provide you with Indian sources, saying the contrary.
